Research And Development Engineer

R&D Engineer (Quantum Photonics)

Location: Sydney, NSW (On-site)

Salary: Flexible + Equity (DOE)

Brief Intro

An early-stage Australian deep-tech startup is looking for an R&D Engineer to help take a quantum photonics-based technology from lab prototype to deployable product. You'll work hands-on with entangled-photon optical systems as part of a small founding engineering team, shaping the architecture and lab setup from the ground up.

This is an amazing opportunity to relocate to Australia to join an innovative start up at the forefront of quantum security technology.

Key Skills

• PhD, or 4+ years post-Masters industry experience, in QKD or Quantum Photonics.
• Quantum optics.
• Single-photon optical systems.
• Photonic entanglement.
• Prototype-to-product development.
• Integration of multiple optical components into a packaged system.
• Comfortable in an early-stage, multi-hat startup environment.

Non-essential/Beneficial Skills

• Quantum teleportation (photonics).
• Optical system design review.
• Equipment integration support.
• Academic or industry background - both considered.
• Open to postdoctoral or other flexible engagement arrangements.
